The book isn't completely clear on whether Jungle Fighters can battle the turn they enter a jungle hex. On page 10, it says "they ignore Jungle movement and battle dice reductions." (Emphasis mine). From this I infer that they still cannot battle when moving into a jungle hex.

But on page 51, it says "this unit ignores terrain Movement and Battle restrictions." (Emphasis mine again). This implies that they can battle when moving into a jungle hex.

The second example is in the "what if" section, so maybe they meant it to be different, but it also refers to page 10, so I don't know.

Can anyone provide clarification?

(Also posted on BGG).

Jungle Fighting troops can ignore Jungle movement and battle dice reductions...that means they can do things when entering a Jungle hex that other units can't, like battle. I believe that basically they can ignore the effect of Jungle Hexes.

You'll find that Jungle Fighting Troops are only available in the battles through the "What if" sections, so those rules apply just as much as page 10.
